ABSTRACT
We experienced a case in which a blood transfusion proved to be effective for the treatment of symptomatic restless legs syndrome that occurred in a patient demonstrating terminal stage cancer with iron-deficiency anemia due to hemorrhaging as a result of carcinomatous peritonitis. The patient was a female in her seventies who suffered from hepatocellular carcinoma. After undergoing blood transfusion, the symptoms of discomfort in her lower limbs dramatically improved. It was thought that it was expected the symptomatic restless leg syndrome was frequently amalgamated, and a positive diagnosis and appropriate treatment were necessary in the terminal stage of cancer.
